Ejb3 Tutorial 3 - Setting up the Project

First we need to start with a project. Rather than having to copy all of JPA Tutorial 3, instead use the following 7-zip file: . You are welcome to use your version of Jpa Tutorial 3, however if you do these instructions might not match your experience.

Note that this file already has a conf directory as described in EJB3 Tutorial 1 - Create and Configure and the classpath is already already set.

1. Extract this file using 7-zip. Place the contents of this archive under your workspace directory. For example, if your workspace directory is c:\workspaces\Ejb3JpaTutorials, after extracting the contents of this archive, you'll have a new directory named c:\workspaces\Ejb3JpaTutorials\Ejb3Tutorial3.
2. Next, import the project into your workspace
3. Start eclipse and open your workspace directory (if you're already in Eclipse, you do not need to restart)
4. Pull down the File menu and select import
5. Expand General
6. Select Existing Projects into Workspace
7. Click Next
8. Select root directory is already selected, click on Browse
9. Select the directory you created when you extracted the archive (c:\workspaces\Ejb3JpaTutorials\Ejb3Tutorial3)
10. Click OK
11. Click Finish

Verify that everything compiled successfully. Once you've fixed any compilation problems, run the unit tests. You might notice a few warnings and even some Fatal logging statements, but the tests should pass. As we migrate this solution to use EJB's, these errors will eventually go away based on how we change our test setup.
